With Ishq and Manam movies, Vikram Kumar has proved his mettle as director and now the Filmnagar folks are biting their ears that he will be wielding the megaphone for Akkineni Akhil's debut movie.

According the grapevine, Nagarjuna was very much impressed with Vikram Kumar while shooting for Manam and in a recent interview to the media, he confirmed that Vikram narrated a story to Akhil but nothing has been zeroed upon. The 30 seconds eye-candy show of Akhil in Manam got a roaring response and Nagarjuna wants Vikram to direct Akhil's debut.

Leaving no stone, Nag is taking utmost care of Akhil's entry and if everything falls in its place, the official announcement may arrive shortly.
